It seems quite a bit more advanced and intelligent than most modern religions. |
Indeed, although I personally don't consider modern Chrisitanity to be a black cult obsessed with death, althought I can see why you'd say that but I think it also applies to most other organized religions, the monotheistic ones included. Another problem is that most people misapplying various, usually a singular, axiomatic tool in their approach when it comes to religion, rendering them next to clueless when it comes to the comprehension of any religious text, forget about the fact that they're obvlivious to different shades or depths of meaning. And this applies to atheists and theists alike. Anyone isolating themselves in a box can never hope to gain any reasonable understanding or utility for any literature that's not written in a "stylisticly linear" fasion, for lack of a better term. Most organized hierarchical structures are nothing more than modes of limiting thought and thus influincing behaviour. That's isn't specific to just religion although most people are too locked in to the current modes and doctrines to appriciate or realize that. And on that note, I invoke jupiter lol  .
EDIT: Most people categorically identify with a singular simplistic axiomtic perspective "I'm a thiest!" or "I'm an athiest!" Congradulations, you're still fucking retarded (pardon my French, I'm a bit bitter an jaded these days  ). "But I'm so spiritual!" or "But I'm so rational!" LOL, no you're not... but at least that delusion gives you sense of comfort or security.
